Variety description

10 August 2026

The hybrid is early-maturing, with a ripening period of 75–78 days. The plant produces uniform, round, personal-sized fruits. The flesh is intensely red, seedless, and the sugar content reaches 13% on the Brix scale. The rind has light stripes characteristic of the Crimson type and is distinguished by good thickness.

The variety is intended for cultivation in the open field and is characterized by high fruit set. A tendency to form hollow hearts and sensitivity to sunburn are noted. The hybrid is suitable for long-term storage and fresh market sales.
